❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What information can I see with WHOIS?
WHOIS reveals domain registration details including registrar, registration/expiration dates, nameservers, and domain status. Owner information may be hidden by privacy protection services.
Why can't I see the domain owner?
Many domain owners use WHOIS privacy protection services that replace their personal information with proxy details to prevent spam and maintain privacy.
How do I check if a domain is available?
If WHOIS returns no results or shows the domain as "available," it may be unregistered. However, use a domain registrar's availability checker for the most accurate information.
What are domain status codes?
Status codes like "clientTransferProhibited" or "serverHold" indicate specific restrictions or states. These codes are defined by ICANN and affect what can be done with the domain.
